This is really strange!

"Could it be that we've encountered vengeful spirits? But...it's impossible! They were flesh and blood just yesterday, how could they have become vengeful spirits? Or perhaps because this is a small world, our perception differs from the world we know?"

Meng Chao was also completely dumbfounded.

These collapsed houses and abandoned tools lying around all prove that this place was once inhabited, but for some reason, people left in a hurry!

And looking at how high those dust piles are, no one has lived here for quite some time!

It takes at least a decade or so to become like this.

But they were not here last night, this place was completely different then!

Strange!

That's too weird!

An Bao glanced at the small village, also frowning, looking a little puzzled.

“Forget it, let's go where there are more people and ask around. We'll figure it out later…”

Staying here won't get you anywhere, you might as well go out and see what happens. You never know, something good might come of it.

A group of people continued to move forward, but now they were more and more confused about this world!

Firstly, as soon as they arrived here, they were pursued by a group of people!

Next, the village that was fine yesterday is deserted today!

Whatever the situation, it filled their hearts with a subtle unease.

Fortunately, after walking for a while, they came across an ancient city.

The city gate was bustling with people coming and going, and soldiers were guarding it.

Three people looked at each other, then carefully walked towards the city gate.

They're all dressed up like this, no one should recognize them, right?

Just as they reached the city gate, the soldiers drew their swords and pointed them at them.

Meng Chao, Yun Jin, and An Bao looked at each other, a glimmer of light flashing in their eyes. They thought the other party had recognized them and were about to make a move when the soldiers stopped them and said, "Toll!"

"Excuse me, how much is the toll?"

Meng Chao and the others let out a long sigh of relief when they heard this.

After all that, it was just a toll...

But soon he was nervous again.

Tsk!

They don't have any toll!

They have no idea what money in this world looks like...

"You have no money? Then get out!"

The soldier eyed Anbao and his companions with disdain, their tattered clothes making him want to shoo them away. He was about to push them aside when...

"Oh, Anbao has money."

At this moment, Anbao hurriedly spoke in a sweet voice. Then, to Meng Chao and Yun Jin's astonishment, she pulled out a small gold bean from her small pouch.

That little golden bean was quite exquisite. Although it wasn't big, it could definitely pass as change!

"Does this work?" An Bao tilted her little head and earnestly held up the small gold bean.

The guard on duty's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he reached out to take it directly. After taking a bite, he smiled contentedly and said, "So it's the Miss Qianjin who's here to experience the hardships of the common people! Please come in!"

Meng Chao saw the situation and knew that the soldiers guarding the city had misunderstood something, but it didn't matter. All he cared about was finding out if they were yesterday's people!

As Meng Chao thought this, he smiled sheepishly and thanked the soldiers guarding the city a few times. He then hurriedly pulled An Bao and the others into the city gate.

As soon as they passed through the city gates, Meng Chao and Yun Jin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Yun Jin even couldn't help but ask An Bao, "An Bao, how come you have everything in your pouch? Is this gold bean real?"

"Yes, it's from my uncle. An Bao has many more! Meng Chao brother, Yun Jin brother, do you want some?"

An Bao, speaking, generously pulled out a handful of gold beans and was about to hand them to Yun Jin and Meng Chao.

"Wait, wait, wait, take this and keep it safe. Don't let anyone see it!"

"Yes, yes! Your uncle is the same way too. Stuffing that much gold onto a child, he's really generous."

Anbao tilted her head, listening to Meng Chao and Yun Jin's conversation. She blinked and explained seriously: "No, Uncle said that gold is a hard currency. It can be used anywhere. Uncle was afraid Anbao would forget to bring her card or cash and wouldn't be able to buy snacks she wanted, so he gave Anbao a lot of gold beans."

Meng Chao and Yun Jin, upon hearing this, suddenly felt a surge of wanting to cry.

Waaah!

Surely enough, he is the big boss of Mu Corporation!

He's so thoughtful when it comes to money!

Most importantly, they were really generous with An Bao!

I wonder if Anbao's uncle still needs more nephews?

It's like that 240-month-old nephew...

After entering the city gates, they probably weren't dressed as distinctively as yesterday, so no one paid them any mind this time.

And Meng Chao and Yun Jin thought about it, and still brought An Bao to a place called Yue Lai Inn.

Well, An Bao the little rich girl is paying!

An Bao gave them a generous amount of gold coins, and the innkeeper treated them with great warmth.

Meng Chao also laughed and chatted with the shopkeeper, trying to figure out from his words why they were being pursued...

"Shopkeeper, I heard that the person the divine being was looking for appeared yesterday? Have they been caught?"

"Huh? You're saying I'm a demon? Yesterday? There was nothing yesterday, did you get it wrong?"

The shopkeeper asked in puzzlement, which only made An Bao and the others even more puzzled. Didn't he yesterday?

"How could there be none? We heard that someone caught the demon yesterday, so we came to take a look secretly from our parents."

"Well, you might have been misled. Our little town did have three demons appear over a decade ago, but they weren't caught and got away! Such a shame, I was chasing after them too. If I had caught them, maybe this inn could be in the capital now."

The shopkeeper's words left Anbao and the others stunned.

What?

A decade ago?

"Several years ago? Boss, we were really curious about that demon. Even the older folks in our house wouldn't tell us much. Since you chased after those demons, you must know more, right? Can you tell us about it?"

Meng Chao smiled flatteringly as he spoke, while secretly slipping a few gold beans to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper didn't expect these people in ragged clothes to be so generous. He was instantly even more enthusiastic.

I wish I could tell Anbao everything I know!

After the shopkeeper had finished explaining the whole story, he left contentedly with a pouch of gold beans.

...

"Just now that shopkeeper said we've been being chased for fifteen years? Fifteen years? How is that possible? Wasn't this just happening yesterday?"

"Aren't there... other demons? Wasn't the shopkeeper saying that there were twenty demons being hunted?"

Meng Chao and Yun Jin both found themselves a little confused at this point.
